This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikiProject Polymers. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

The {{WikiProject Polymers}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project.

While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. Any one of the following styles can be used.

{{WikiProject Polymers|needs-infobox=|attention=|needs-picture=|needs-structure=}}

{{WikiProject Polymers
 |needs-infobox=
 |attention=
 |needs-picture=
 |needs-structure=
}}

• needs-infobox- Set |needs-infobox=yes if the articles needs an infobox.
• attention- Set |attention=yes if the article needs attention.
• needs-picture- If the article needs extra images, pictures or photographs of products made of polymer, production companies, equipments, etc., then set |needs-picture=yes.
• needs-structure- If the article needs additional molecular structure or diagram, set |needs-structure=yes.

• listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for William Shockley, use |listas=Shockley, William so that the talk page will show up in the S's and not the W's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Wikipedia:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.
  If the article is using {{WikiProject banner shell}} then it is preferable to add |listas= to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required.
• category – set |category=no if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
